A new model version is created with a unique, system-generated Name and your specified Title. Model versions are created in the Preliminary maturity state.

Note: Although Model Prefix is a required field when creating a model version in Variant Management, it is not required when creating a model version in Model Definition. You cannot view the Model Prefix field of model versions created in Variant Management in Model Definition. The Model Prefix field of model versions created in Model Definition is blank when the model version properties are viewed in Variant Management.
